Lo sforzo, ogni anno, è quello di costruire un cartellone di proposte particolari, ricerche espressive originali, sguardi inconsueti sul mondo. Riteniamo importante ribadire queste vocazioni del Teatro Comunale di Dozza e, in un anno in cui la condizione dei finanziamenti è particolarmente difficile e la fatica del “fare” cultura pesa particolarmente, dichiariamo ancora, con rinnovato orgoglio, l’identità di questo luogo come spazio di incontro e preziose contaminazioni. Questa stagione è stata costruita pensando ad un pubblico “vario”, e infatti si offrono spettacoli molto diversi, ma racchiude anche l’idea di proporre ad un pubblico affezionato, un percorso ricco di spunti, di stimolanti opportunità culturali. Annunciando, come sempre, la seconda parte della stagione, in autunno, dedicata nel 2009 al tema del CORPO (che attraversa le arti, la filosofia, le scienze, le religioni, la comunicazione, i generi, le classi sociali, le generazioni...), ringraziamo, ancora una volta,

  • Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes Return to Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City Saturday, November 10 at 8 Pm
    For Immediate Release SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY AND THE ASBURY JUKES RETURN TO HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO ATLANTIC CITY SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10 AT 8 PM Atlantic City, NJ (September 25, 2018) – After a mind-blowing performance in early August, Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes will be returning to Sound Waves at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City on November 10 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale this Friday, September 28 at 10 a.m. Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes are a Jersey Shore music group led by the band’s namesake, Southside Johnny. They have been recording albums since 1976 and are closely associated with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. They have recorded or performed several Springsteen songs, including "The Fever" and "Fade Away". Springsteen has also performed with the band on numerous occasions and in 1991 guested on their Better Days album. During the band's formative years Miami Steve Van Zandt, aka Little Steven, acted as the band's co-leader, guitarist, songwriter, arranger and producer while other E Streeters including Clarence Clemons, Max Weinberg, Garry Tallent, Ernest Carter, Patti Scialfa and Soozie Tyrell have all performed, toured or recorded with the Jukes. The band's horn section, the Miami Horns, has also toured and recorded with Springsteen. More than one hundred musicians can claim to have been members of the Asbury Jukes, including Jon Bon Jovi who toured with the band as a special guest during 1990. Bon Jovi has also cited the band as an influence for him. Jukes' Bobby Bandiera and Jeff Kazee have also toured with Bon Jovi.

New Jersey celebrates 350 years of innovation, diversity and liberty in 2014. We live in a state of strong, determined people whose diverse talents and accomplishments have helped to shape both the nation and the world. How do you see the development of music in New Jersey as shaping the nation and the world? A.
